Distributor option

[franklin2]

I need you guys to help me out and look at this Tech Article I posted and see if I need to add or correct anything. Right now, I feel like it's torn between being its own article and being a supplement to the Duraspark Conversion article. I feel like I need to add more information about remove the unused wiring, computer, and EGR.

Powerspark Ignition Conversion - The Ranger Station

The Powerspark Ignition Conversion is the latest way to replace the TFI ignition on your 2.8L powered Ford Ranger / Bronco II

Removing the old computer wiring and computer is not really necessary for things to function and run correctly after the conversion. It would be more of aesthetics type thing, "cleaning up" the mess under the hood.

So I am thinking if you wanted to include it, make sure it is at the tail end of the article, making sure the engine runs correctly before tearing stuff out. And also not to clutter up the article and make it too much to read. In other words, breaking the whole operation down in two parts, the conversion and then the clean-up with the clean-up being optional.

I noticed 2 spots that may need clarification.
The first is "them". Which them specifically? The distributor or the kit?

And the second is the "was as". Is it supposed to be "way as"?

Where did we end up on this? I keep trying to circle back to it because I want to add it to the Tech Library.

My understanding is that the Powerspark distributor works in the 2.8 and has a built-in ignition module. If true, then it would seem to me that you could replace the Duraspark conversion by using a Powerspark distributor, a coil, and a 2BBL carb. I've been waiting for someone to actually do this, share some photos, and confirm it.

Im waiting on the non feedback 2bbl carb, powerspark ignition coil, and a new ignition switch since mine is broken. Once done ill rip out the mess of wires and try to capture photos of the process.
Truck has been sitting for a minute so everything is getting a complete overhaul. Its just going to be a competition audio truck/ daily driveable so all i care about is the engine running good and no leaks, so it can power a 300A internally regulated alternator, which ill do a seperate thread on installing that.
